Good Lord a lot of stuff

Jul 24, 2008 17:02

Ok, I don't know what to do. I have to get this out. I can't think straight right now. This has been such a stressful two weeks for me. Between getting Tony out of my house (still not completely done), he still has to come by and get the last of his boxes tomorrow, working for my dad, Elle and Catholic, money, TnCare, kids, etc. My life and ( Read more... )

Oh wow. *HUG* I don't even know what to say.
Tennessee is stupid for one thing. I could go on and on. I never have tried for TennCare because I figured it was mostly for kids anyway. But we did look into foodstamps a couple of times because it really was to the point where it was "What bill do we pay late this month so that we can still get food?" We made too much money to get food stamps but even without a mortgage we weren't able to pay for everything.
Thankfully we have been very blessed and those days are over (for now) for us.
But basically... uh if anyone deserved TennCare I'd say y'all do.

I hope you are able to find something to work out for work, Elle's school... everything.

Thanks. Thing is I don't even care about the doctor s, I just need my meds; my epilepsy meds are just too expensive for me to afford. We get the food stamps but they keep sending us letters that they are going down- foos prices are going up, but stamps are going down. It makes no sense! Thanks, I just wish they thought so.

I need to look for something, anything that I can do that will get us some more money, of course that will lower our food stamps more and we don't get that much anyway- I always am able to strech them though.

Elle said that when she was up at the Vineyard she talked to my aunt about school and she was willing to help pay for it, so I may have to ask her for help. I just don't know if I can.

Tennessee is very stupid. (Yes I am just catching up. I have been reading replies but have been too overwhelmed or not had enough privacy or time to reply.) It is mostly for kids, but we couldn't get insurance because I have a "pre-exisiting condidtion" and so does Tom so they wouldn't cover it anyway. This is the first time in my life I haven't been insured though and it scares the hell out of me though.

We're trying to work out the money thing with school and all.

I know you love me. I so wish I could talk to you in person, or at least on the phone. I miss you so much and you are so rational and comforting and have such good advice. *hugs ( ... )

Ugh, working under those conditions would piss me off.

How far are you from 92 and Broadway? I've been heading up there once a week to see my dad at the rehab place up there..maybe we can get together for drinks?

sweeetpeaches July 25 2008, 16:37:00 UTC

My mom really doesn't understand why I hate working here, even though she remembers hating it when she did in the 80's. She just keeps pushing me to come back, "because you need the money." Not that bad.

OMG! Really! I am about 1 mile up 92! We have to meet for sure. That would be great! Which re-hab place is he in?

chelchik July 25 2008, 17:28:44 UTC

Ask for an hourly rate that would make it worth it to you. ;)

He's at Jefferson City health and rehab.

sweeetpeaches July 29 2008, 19:04:09 UTC

My dad can't afford an hourly wage that would make i worth it to me! *L*

aw, honey... suenosdejmi July 28 2008, 23:28:31 UTC

i'm sorry everything's being all suck. I missed most of the drama over tony, but he just can't be worth it. and Elle, have her grades improved enough that it'd even be worth it to have her go back to Catholic? She's old enough that she has to understand the financial side of life, just tell her you can't help it.

Tenncare sucks. It all sucks. I haven't tried to get mine back lately, but it probably wouldn't go over well. And I don't qualify for insurance at work because i'm not fulltime. it's the retail world's way of keeping everything down cost wise, but it doesn't help anyone who has any job where they make too much to qualify for tenncare then aren't eligible for insurance at their jobs. The health care system is a freakin' mess.

*sigh*

sometime when you want to vent i'd love to see you. :) we should find something to do.

Re: aw, honey... sweeetpeaches July 29 2008, 19:10:25 UTC

Drama over Tony has been ongoing. It would take so long to explain. It sucks but is pretty much over. We have to take his cat to the shelter now because he left it, but that's about it. He is sooooo not worth it. He's a horses ass. Her grades were great when she was at Catholic last year but at West they were teh suck, until the end when she was told if she didn't pass and bring them up there was no way in hell she was going back and she'd be doing summer school. Elle said that when she was up at the Vineyard she talked to my aunt about school and she was willing to help pay for it, so I may have to ask her for help. I just don't know if I can ( ... )

Re: aw, honey... suenosdejmi July 29 2008, 20:19:38 UTC

'lunch' would be great, or pretty much anything of that sort :) I'm almost never there on Mondays and Tuesdays. It seems to be my regularly scheduled patterns as of lately. if it's something she really really wants, and she'll actually do well and not just socialize, then maybe it might be worth asking for help. i just remembered once before when you were breaking your neck to send her there and all she did was do badly. it's definitely not worth it if that's how she still is.

Re: aw, honey... sweeetpeaches August 7 2008, 21:34:26 UTC

She seems to really really want it, but I don't want to be disappointed in her again. *sigh* First it was freshman year and her grades, then sophomore year and "being asked to leave", I don't know if I can take anymore. You know I hadn't thought of this before. She wants to go back, but I'm not sure it's for the right reasons. I know she wants to go back because most of her friends will be graduating this year, and she misses her friends. She feels most at home there. She is more challenged there. She did really well there last year- all A's (5) and B's (2) I was so proud. Then at West her grades went to hell in a handbasket. *sigh*

*hugs sweetie*

sorry you have so much going on....tncare did the same thing to mark several years ago. It was awful. There is no way people can afford medical anymore without a really good job that pays alot...

Hang in there....there is a saying that dede and I are fond of....

"If things can fall apart....then things can fall together"

I am so worried. This is the first time in my life I haven't had insurance and Tom's work won't have enrollment until November- plus it will take half his paycheck every week to cover us; if they cover our preexisting conditions. My meds alone are $1123.85 a month and Tom's are $156.10. Not exactly anything I can afford to pay out of pocket. The two of mine that are so expensive ($687.30 & 404.55) are supposed to go generic sometime this year. Almost all the rest I can get on the $4 list at Wal-Mart. Tom only has 2 on the $4 list.

I like that saying, I hope it's true. *hugs*

I am so glad I have a friend like you I can talk to.
